I've tried to do wat my friends tell me to do.. raise your hip at the wake dun pump down to get the pop.. look farther etc etc.. but nothing seems to work so far..the farthers I've ever been is about 4 feet from the wake!! How do you guys brings it way out???As in wat are you thinking when you jump??

Problem 2: Landed my backroll but.....

ok, I pop, invert, felt my board land on the water.. and then splash... down I go.. It's kinda frustrating.. and my instructor told me to initiate the trick after I've lifted off from the wake, another guy tells me to edge away from the boat so that the wake will do it for ya. So which one should I follow??
